I am not sure what you want me to try.
I know enough about the CLI to be dangerous.

Code: Select all

[/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/HDHomeRunDVR] # ls -l
-rw-rw-r--    1 admin    administ       101 Dec 24 09:42 HDHomeRunDVR.conf

-sh: ./hdhr_wrapper_arm: No such file or directory
[/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/HDHomeRunDVR] #
When my script starts the record engine it starts but is running as admin.

I am surprised that no one else has tried to start the engine automatically.

most do..
am guessing more folks using on x86 than arm based NAS
and being able to start via UI anyway means folks forget to report it.

If you could also try downloading the wrapper directly to some other folder and execute

Code: Select all

wget http://www.irish-networx.com/hdhr_wrapper/hdhr_wrapper_arm
chmod a+x hdhr_wrapper_arm
./hdhr_wrapper_arm
Have checked my build here and the wrappers are executing on my QNAP (x86) and Synology (arm)
so not sure why the arm binary isn't working for you guys :(

Re: QNAP QPKG for DVR Record Engine

Post by signcarver »

don't have a qnap here and generally don't use arm based linux (where I actually do things in linux, not when something like a nas comes with it) but can you report the results of

Code: Select all

file hdhr_wrapper_arm
ldd hdhr_wrapper_arm
as it may point to where the error is (the program itself seems to run for me on any arm device that I can connect to from here). I have heard of times that an expected shared library wasn't there that produced such error (though most would expect another). It is probably more common to see such on x64 when 32 bit libraries aren't included.

Also I seem to remember once a person report that anything in /share was not executable on their NAS but I haven't been able to find it.

Re: QNAP QPKG for DVR Record Engine

Post by demonrik »

very odd..

the wrappers are static binaries with no dynamic linking..
So ldd should error - but not in the way shown.

my guess here is that something has changed wrt ABI for the binary.
But what is the troubling part.

@darqnova - which model NAS are you running?
I notice that the TS-231 uses a freescale ARM v7 core, while the toolchain provided by QNAP is for Marvel.
It shouldn't matter - but maybe something is up.

Remember that everything works through the GUI on my TS-231.

I have a TS-251 (x86) that I could setup. However, other than the auto start the TS-231 is working for me.

its the autostart/system start that uses the wrapper.
The GUI doesn't need it

You can remove the wrapper from the HDHomeRunDVR.sh script
This will allow autostart - but you won't be able to us the GUI to start/stop, and permissions will need to be fixed when we get the wrapper working.
Find the following in the script

Code: Select all

if [[ $EUID -ne 0 ]]; then
			$QPKG_ROOT/$HDHOMERUN_BIN start --conf $QPKG_ROOT/$HDHOMERUN_CONF
		else
			if [[ "$ARCH" =~ "arm"* ]]; then
			        echo "Determined Platform is ARM from $ARCH"
				$QPKG_ROOT/$HDHOMERUN_WRAP_ARM -u $HDHOMERUN_USER -b $QPKG_ROOT/$HDHOMERUN_BIN -- start --conf $QPKG_ROOT/$HDHOMERUN_CONF
			elif [[ "$ARCH" =~ "x86_64"* ]]; then
                                echo "Determined Platform is x86_64 from $ARCH"
				$QPKG_ROOT/$HDHOMERUN_WRAP_X86_64 -u $HDHOMERUN_USER -b $QPKG_ROOT/$HDHOMERUN_BIN -- start --conf $QPKG_ROOT/$HDHOMERUN_CONF
                        else
				echo "Unable to determine the platform - will default to no wrapper"
				$QPKG_ROOT/$HDHOMERUN_BIN start --conf $QPKG_ROOT/$HDHOMERUN_CONF
			fi
		fi
		
best is to comment out all but line 22, i.e.

Code: Select all

#if [[ $EUID -ne 0 ]]; then
			$QPKG_ROOT/$HDHOMERUN_BIN start --conf $QPKG_ROOT/$HDHOMERUN_CONF
#		else
#			if [[ "$ARCH" =~ "arm"* ]]; then
#			        echo "Determined Platform is ARM from $ARCH"
#				$QPKG_ROOT/$HDHOMERUN_WRAP_ARM -u $HDHOMERUN_USER -b $QPKG_ROOT/$HDHOMERUN_BIN -- start --conf $QPKG_ROOT/$HDHOMERUN_CONF
#			elif [[ "$ARCH" =~ "x86_64"* ]]; then
#                               echo "Determined Platform is x86_64 from $ARCH"
#				$QPKG_ROOT/$HDHOMERUN_WRAP_X86_64 -u $HDHOMERUN_USER -b $QPKG_ROOT/$HDHOMERUN_BIN -- start --conf $QPKG_ROOT/$HDHOMERUN_CONF
 #                       else
#				echo "Unable to determine the platform - will default to no wrapper"
#				$QPKG_ROOT/$HDHOMERUN_BIN start --conf $QPKG_ROOT/$HDHOMERUN_CONF
#			fi

Actually, if you look at the script that I posted it directly calls hdhomerun_record_linux start without
the configuration file and not HDHomeRunDVR.sh (my mistake). :oops: I guess that explains why I couldn’t
view live TV on the shield.

I can live without auto start for awhile.

FYI: In my script the commands involving “mlog” are checking if/when my script ran and are not required.

I think I have the issue with the arm binary for qnap worked out.

For those with arm based qnaps..
Can someone please try executing an experimental compiled wrapper?

You can get the binary with

Code: Select all

wget www.irish-networx.com/hdhr_wrapper/hdhr_wrapper_exp 
you should see

cool
turned out I was building the arm binary wrong for qnap.
Now resolved
So will create new qpkg later today, then update build Makefiles, etc.

I am experiencing the same issues on a qnap TS-231P with the dual core arm. Firmware ver 4.3.6.0805 I installed the latest qpkg 0.9.35, I can see the web interface, I can open the app on my phone and it recognizes that there is a DVR package associated to my tuner. I can schedule shows and such, but as soon as I hit record, or a timer goes off to record, the record engine crashes.

Looks like on the fist attempt at recording it can create the folder path and creates the file to write to, but after that nothing. If I try to restart the record engine from the web interface it won't stay running, the status bar at the bottom says it is running but after a few seconds it changes to not running and the log file never updates.

restarting the HDHomeRunDVR service thru the QNAP admin / apps interface doesn't seem to resolve anything.

I have to reboot the qnap to get it to start running again and then the cycle repeats. (uninstalling the qpkg and reinstalling also just repeats the cycle)
-- correction :: on the reboot. the /share/Multimedia/HDHomeRunDVR folder gets deleted after a reboot. I manually recreate the folder path (chmod 777) . restart the record engine thru the web interface, then the cycle repeats.
